The Official GOAT List: Ranking the Greatest 2000's Mall Stores

Before online shopping took over, the mall was the place to be — and these stores were the reason you begged for a ride every weekend. Whether you were spritzing body spray at Bath & Body Works, trading games at GameStop, or wandering into Spencer’s for something you probably shouldn’t see, every trip had its must-stop destinations. From the cologne-clouded halls of Abercrombie & Fitch to the neon walls of Hot Topic, these brands shaped how we dressed, shopped, and socialized. Vote for the store that best captures the spirit of the 2000s mall era and help decide which one still holds a place in retail history.
